The Great Lakes Fishery Commission will meet sometime in March, it consists of a bi-national board of fishery managers from Michigan, New York, Ohio, Ontario, and Pennsylvania. They will determine what the total allowable catch (TAC) will be based upon the best science currently available to them. Those numbers will be released in late March or early April and those numbers will then be divided up between the different jursidictions that makeup The Great Lakes Fishery Commission and the 2012 bag limits will be set from those numbers by each jurisdiction. So it could be mid to late April before we will know but most likely late March or early april they will release what the 2012 bag limit will be for Ohio.

Of course nothing official yet like mentioned earlier in this thread. What I am hearing from good sources is I would expect walleye to remain at 6 fish. There is a chance that perch could go back down to 25 per day. But we won't know till after the meeting this month.

Does not matter if its 25 or 80 perch, I put my money on Gettin Jiggy still getting schooled in the perch offs

Talking smack is like drinking a cold beer, its never too early to start. On another thought are we even going to see Jiggy this years since he is a proud new boat Pappa?
